Had Intercourse With Protection. Periods Not Received. Can Stress Cause Delay?

My girlfriend has been very stressed lately over many things, including the safety of our intercourse. I have thoroughly checked our protection after each use, and it has always been safe. She has not had her period for a few days. Last month she received it around the fourth. Is it possible that stress is causing this to happen?

Hello,
Although the most common cause for missing your period is pregnancy and it should be ruled out by getting the urine test of pregnancy done,other causes like stress,loss of weight,extreme physical activity,some temporary illness etc can also result in delayed periods.
Thanks
